Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 46: The Muppets, Young Adult, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, New Year’s Eve, and The Golden Globe Awards

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

The Muppets.  It’s time to light the lights…  Or is it?

Young Adult.  An alternate title might be Prom Bitch Queen meets Crippled Geek.

Sherlock Holmes:  A Game of Shadows.  It’s the thinking man’s movie that goes BOOM!

New Year’s Eve.  Here’s a New Year’s resolution everyone can get behind:  No more Garry Marshall romantic comedies.

The Golden Globe Awards.  The show was a lot like the gold sprinkled desert that was served.  Sparkly and tasty on the night of the show but not so much the following morning.

Thanks for listening!  We’ll be back in two weeks.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 45: My Week With Marilyn, Puss In Boots, J. Edgar, and Hugo.

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

My Week with Marilyn.  Forget about one week, judging by this movie, two hours would be too long.


Puss in Boots.  This prequel to Shrek definitely lays an egg–but is it a golden egg or a goose egg?

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 44: Immortals, Tower Heist, The Three Musketeers, and The Descendants

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Immortals.  A grim, ugly version of  Greek mythology that’s filled with castrations, disfigured women, and Mickey Rourke sucking on chicken bones.  Who’d want to live forever in this world?

Tower Heist.  A bunch of likable guys in a pretty unlikely caper.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 43: The Thing, In Time, Real Steel, and Martha Marcy May Marlene

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

The Thing.  Some things are better left in Antarctica buried in the ice.

In Time.  After wasting two hours watching this film, The Time Bandits might seem like a better title.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 42: The Ward, Footloose, The Ides of March, and Abduction

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

The Ward.  If the characters in The Ward took the DSM III test, instead of turning out to be crazy and paranoid, they’d turn out to be dull and boring.

Footloose.   Forget about the ban on dancing.  Apparently Hollywood has a ban on new ideas. Continue reading →

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.

Troll Hunter. “Trolls!!!”  Nuff said.

Our Idiot Brother.   A likable film about an idiot character, or an idiot film about a likable character?

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 40: Fred Koenekamp Interview part 2, Conan, The Debt, and Attack the Block

6 ‘n 90!  Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds.


Conan the Barbarian.  Keep the first twenty minutes, call it Young Conan, and you’ve got a great short.  Add an hour and a half of confused story and bad acting, and you’ve got the new Conan the Barbarian movie.


Fred Koenekamp.  He’s faced the challenge of putting epic-size films on the screen like Patton and Papillon, and  he’s been in the thick of the action on a roller rink in Kansas City Bomber, but maybe the greatest challenge he faced was a bunch of bees on The Swarm!  Part 2 of Jim’s interview with cinematographer Fred Koenekamp.
